Our Wedding

We have what I would call&nbsp;a typical love story, but it turned out to be anything but typical.&nbsp; We went to the same university with the same friends but our paths never really crossed, they seemed to always just miss each other. Alot of the same friends and parties, but always the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, two years into attending Stevenson, we eventually met. I was legit in workout gear, rosy-cheeked and with my hair tied up and totally unprepared for him to be&nbsp;the hottest guy I had ever seen. I don't recall if I just didn't believe my friends about how cute he was or if I was just trying to play it cool, but I instantly&nbsp;regretted what I was wearing. Anyways, that embarrassing time passed and so did about a year and a half when I was way caught up with ice hockey and Damien was just doing his thing with work and school... Flash forward to junior year at Stevenson, I had bright purple hair and it was&nbsp;Thursday (college night) at Bateman's and&nbsp;Damien was across the bar. I never&nbsp;saw him out, like ever. He was always off doing his own thing, which I&nbsp;totally admired. I could have peed myself when he came over to talk to me. The rest is history really....I spent two weeks trying really&nbsp;hard to pretend I wasn't super&nbsp;into him and then gave up on that concept. Thank god he didnt believe me....aaaand&nbsp;here we are. Still SO&nbsp;in love but no longer pretending its no big deal, because lets be honest, true love&nbsp;is a HUGE deal and were lucky to have found each other. Damien proposed to me in Puertos Los Cabos at the Secrets Resort in our swim-up pool. I could not&nbsp;have said yes any faster, and I truly am happy no pictures were taken at that time because we both ugly cried, hard. We are looking forward to celebrating our love with everybody we love in one of the places we love the most.

Q + A

Our Registry!

We decided to not create a hotel block for our guests because of all of the different options that our guests have in the Reno-Tahoe area and not wanting to restrict our guests to one area. We highly suggest AirBnB's for those that want to stay in the Tahoe area, and hotels for those wanting to stay in the Reno area.

This is the area of Lake Tahoe that is nearest the venue (About 45 mins drive). If you are looking for a cool Air BnB, I would look around this area. Obviously the whole area is beautiful and the drive is worth it!

Lake Tahoe

Mt Rose is the also the name of the main highway that takes you to Tahoe from Reno and that the wedding venue is located on. &nbsp;There are&nbsp;LOTS of hiking spots and camping spots around here. Also lots of picturesque spots along the main highway for stopping and taking photos or just enjoying the views.

Mt Rose St, Reno, NV, USA

You can go river floating down this river if its not too high (depends on winter snow). There are also lots of trails to walk/bike along the river as well as hiking/camping. This river starts at Lake Tahoe and runs all the way through downtown Reno and then continues on.&nbsp;

Truckee River

Lots of&nbsp;restaurants &nbsp;and things to do in the downtown area. The Truckee River passes through the city and they usually have cool events going on.&nbsp;

Downtown, Reno, NV, USA

Hot August Nights is a Classic Car Show that happens every August in Reno. You will see LOTS of classic cars driving around in the area, and this is why.&nbsp;If you are really&nbsp;into old cars or even if you aren't, this is a cool event to go to and experience.&nbsp;
